THERE is lots of good round sense in

THERE is lots of good round sense in
the following:
When the business men of a town
fail to advertise they diminish the i'm
portance and trade of a place and per-
NIT more enterprising localities to take
the latter from them. Although done
for their individual interests, adver-
tisers should be looked upon by the
citizens of a town as public benefac-
tors, and should be encouraged accord
ingty. The merchant who advertises
extensively is worth more To town
and its people than forty who never
show themselves in print, and for that
reason he should be given the prefer
ence of local patronage, provided of
course that he is a fair and honorable
business man.

A aerIaua Charge.

Some time in August gentleman
living southwest Of the city contracted
with John Atyeo to furnish him three
COWS to butcher. The time was speci-
fed when they should be brought in,
but they failed to come on the proper
day, but were found IN Mr.. Atyeo's
slaughter yard the next morning, hay
ing been brought in by the cattleman's
son. He was paid SO at the time and
the father called day or two later and
received check for the balance. He
called at the butchers shop again and
sold two more. They were driven into
the yard at night. Mr.. Atyeo sus-
picioned little crookedness and told
his son at the time that all was not
right. Some days later Mr.. Il. Powell
told Mr.. Atyeo he had lost
some fine cattle, one cow being
especially large and a full blood
ed Hereford. Mr.. Powell was
given a description of the cattle and
said at once that they were his He
said then that the horns were branded
with the letter "P." and a search re-
suited in finding the horns ana Lne leu
ter as stated. The Hereford cow had
one horn broken and the letter was on
the other horn, and these horns were
found at Mr.. Atyeo's slaughter house
and identified by Ed. Atyeo as the
horns belonging to the extra large COW
they had purchased of 1. Heller, and
which was driven with two others by
his son Amos.
Thursday Mr.. Heller and his son
were arrested on complaint of Powell
and brought before Judge Fletcher and
the trial was set for some day next
week. Failing to give the required
bail they were committed to jail, where
they await further developments.
Since the arrest of the two parties
above mentioned several men have
complained of losing cattle. Mr.
Hensley lost nine. A gentleman from
southwest of the city complained tC
the sheriff this morning that he hae
lost three three-year olds and the mum

Our College Commencement

The invitations have been issued for the
centennial commencement Of Franklin and
Marshall college on June IL, 10, IA, Is and
l6. They are specimens Of the fine work Of
the lNTELLIGENCER job department and
will attract special attention because OF
being printed on paper over one hundred
years old. The paper was found in the lof,
OF the old paper mill of J. NJ. Wilcox i
Co., near Philadelphia, and it was q mos,
appropriate idea to secure it for this CEN
tennial anniversary.
Lancaster feels just pride In the
historic institutions that are about cele.
brating their joint anniversaries. Franklin
and Marshall college has done wonderous
work for good in this city by elevating the
standards Of intellectual taste, and educat.
ing some of its most able professional men.
There should be in every Lancastrian s
heart a warm feeling for the venerable col.
lege where ripened an intellect like unto
that Of the revered John w. Nevin. And
every citizen should do what in him lies to
make this centennial celebration of Ian.
casters great institution of learning the
beginning of higher and broader era of
development.

Let II Be Tested,

ALVt ~
The Lancaster Il Millersyille Street
Railway company operate their line under
a lease from the Lancaster & Reading
Narrow Gauge Railroad company. The
latter corporation got most remarkable
franchise from the Legislature in the act OF
April s, 1873. Sections and 4 Of this &C,
say:
That the company (the Reading and Mar.
row Gauge) is hereby authorized to use, pasa
the city Of Lancaster - may b required in
the construction OF its roads and their
branches and connections, without any other
authority than Is herein granted, and to con-
meet with any railroad now constructed or
hereafter to bs constructed.
That the said company is hereby author.
lied to construct railroads from the city OF
Lancaster, TO or near any point within the
county OF Lancaster, and occupy and cross
with all roads any street, public or private
road or turnpike road at grsde
1t is wonder that the legislature did not
grant to this corporation the privilege of
tearing down, without compensation, all
buildings that in any way interfered with
its plans. Surely no one will con-
tend that the vast privileges given by
the legislature without concurrent assent
on the part of the city could be enforced.
If there is any such doubt, let it he
promptly tested. Let the Millersville
company be ordered to conform their
gauge to that of the Lancaster city street
railway, at least on the two North Queen
street squares, from the railroad station to
the monument. If councils have not this
power over city affairs, they are poor
indeed. In any event no third track must
be laid to disfgure North Queen street and
endanger the lives of those who travel with
vehicles thereon.

LANCASTER, JUNE 2. 1857.
The Mayors Message.

The message of the mayor shows the
city 70 be in good condition in all its de-
partments, with the debt being yearly re.
duced through the sinking fund, and suili-
eient moneys in the treasury to keep the
city department in good order. The water
supply il being carefully improved and the
sewerage wisely considered. The fire de-
partment seems fairly efficient, and there
b no longer complaint Of the lighting Of
the streets. The outlay upon the streets is
kept within the appropriation; which is, of
course, well. But it would be we'll if the
mayors recommendation that the stones
used for macadamizing be properly broken
and that q stone crusher be purchased,
should be promptly met. 1t is unaccount-
able that the city has been 50 long without
. machine to crush stones to proper
fneness. It is not q sufficient reason
that the appropriation for street purposes
did not allow of the expenditure. 1t is not
necessary that the machine should be paid
for out of the appropriation OF single
year when it will do the work of many
years. It will save its cost in years work,
besides giving us, what we do not now
have, stones properly crushed. 1t is absurd
to put upon the streets the large stones
that are now laid there.
The mayor makes some very sensible
mggestions relative to the proposed i'm
provements Of the water and sewerage
systems, and he may be relied upon to see
that the money appropriated for these OBJ
jects Is carefully used. He calls the atten-
tion Of councils to the need Of adapting
the ordinances to the new charter under
which we are to sit in lsss, and which will
require considersbie readjustment to meet
: pdpquiN6ents,
